The Biotech Leader's Handbook: Becoming a Great Leader and Building a Winning Team

The Biotech Leader's Handbook is a best practices handbook for biotech CEOs and senior executives who want to become great leaders and create high-performing teams. This book is about getting fit as a leader, team and company.

Here you will find a collection of short articles and listicles across three leadership pillars:

1. Self-Leadership: Becoming a more self-reflective and resilient leader (self-awareness, resilience, stress management, acceptance, the stoic approach, confidence, assertiveness, self-discipline)

2. Interpersonal and Team Leadership: Building and maintaining strong relationships, communicating effectively, and connecting with others to achieve common goals (relationships, collaboration, trust, communication, management, active listening, emotional intelligence, mastering 1-on-1's, team dynamics, developing empathy, becoming a great coach)

3. Organisational and Industry Leadership: Becoming an inspiring and visionary leader across your leadership team, organisation, and the whole pharmaceutical and healthcare industry (strategy, vision, culture, board and shareholder management, partnerships, business development, industry and thought leadership)

All the tools and frameworks that you'll learn in this book have been tested and implemented by biotech CEOs and senior executives in my coaching practice.

"Pharmaceutical discovery and development is the most complicated activity that humans do", said Joshua Boger, the founder of Vertex Pharmaceuticals. "Give me all the money of the world and I can take you to Mars, I can solve anything for you, but, if you asked me to cure Alzheimer's, I'd say, I'll give it a go, but I have no idea if I could do it."

This is the industry you chose to lead in, the hardest, yet the most impactful, at least for you and me. In the most uncertain, capital-intensive, risky, and multidisciplinary business, becoming the best leader you can be and building a dream team is not an optionality; it's an absolute necessity.

This is what this book is about: practical tools and drills for becoming fit as a leader, team, and company. You and your team are doing great science. Now, let's talk about you, your leadership, your resilience, your persuasion, your people, the teamwork, the culture, the motivation... so that we 10x your science and maximise our chances of reaching the patients.

Loving you, Angelos Georgakis.
